There is no such thing as a working visa.
To work legally you must have:
A work permit (IMTA)
A valid immigration document (KITAS)
The latter is issued after you have the former, both applied and paid for by your employer.

Working without a work permit is illegal and leaves you at risk of fines, prison time, and deportation.
(any combination of the above but pretty much guaranteed deportation)
